Novaia

Perched on southeast-facing slopes above the village of Marano di Valpolicella, Novaia is the kind of family estate that makes you believe in the long game. The Vaona family has farmed this land for generations, and when Cristina and Marcello Vaona joined as the fourth generation in 2005, they converted the estate to organic farming and set a new course for the domaine.

Paolo Vaona founded the estate in the late nineteenth century, and the winery began bottling its own wines commercially in 1918. The property sits within a fourteenth-century stone compound in the Marano valley, one of the five classic sub-valleys of Valpolicella. Cesare and Giampaolo Vaona ran the estate through the latter half of the twentieth century before Cristina and Marcello took the reins in 2005. Organic conversion followed immediately, with full ICEA certification achieved at the 2014 harvest.
